Description

In this study, the effects of the variables on sintering of simulated fuel to simulate the spent fuel are described. Mainly, the effects of compaction pressure, sintering temperature and sintering time on the density of pellet are described. The experimental is performed with compaction pressure of 1 ton/cm2 ∼ 4 ton/cm2, sintering temperature of 1670 .deg. C, 1730 .deg. C and 1780 .deg. C and sintering time of 4 hr, 8hr and 24hr. Sintered density and grain size is increased with these variable. Apparent densities of the powders after wet milling and grinding in tubular are 1.3444 g/cm3 and 2.3352 g/cm3, respectively. Optimum condition of simulated fuel fabrication is 1730 .deg. C in sintering temperature, 3 ton/cm2 in compaction pressure and 4 hours in sintering time to satisfy the criteria of the pellet density of CANDU fuel
